FINISH to complete the transaction, Push the down arrow to display
the Non-
Compensated Volume. If your non-compensated checks in standard
Volume/delivery mode are consistent, but out of tolerance, a new
K-factor can be calculated per the attached information and entered
in Manual Calibrate. Or, an Autocalibrate run can be made to
calculate a new K-factor. SPECIAL CALIBRATION ACCEPTANCE IF MORE
THAN ONE PRODUCT PRODUCT ADDED AFTER INITIAL CALIBRATION If all the
products were set up and assigned Cal 1 before the calibration was
done, they would all get that calibration properly assigned to that
product. If a new product is added after the calibration of that
Cal 1, say 25, the new product unfortunately is not automatically
given the 25, but gets the 96 factory default in the background.
Going to Manual calibrate and getting to Encoder counts, NEXT, then
ENTER to "recalculate" gets the CAL 1 of 25 assigned to the new
product.

How to make corrections in calibration without re-calibrating
Example: Calibration Factor: 95.966 pulses per Gallon Register vol:
100.4 Prover volume: 100.0 (Prover-reg)/prover =
(100.0-100.4)/100.0 = - .004 New factor= old factor /(1+diff) note
sign is important New factor = 95.966/(1-.004) = 95.966/0.996 =
96.351 If register more than prover, factor up. (less
Gallons/pulse) (greater Pulses/gallon) If register less than
prover, factor down (more Gallons/pulse) (less pulses/gallon) The
adjustment is made in Manual Calibration with the C&C switch
open.

METER CALIBRATION There are now 4 Calibrations Available. For
multiple products, If using Temperature Compensation, calibrate the
Temperature Probe first as noted previously. The system calibration
is running a known Non-Compensated volume through the meter and
having the register electronics calculate the Calibration Factor.
The calibration factor is Encoder Counts per Unit Volume. During
the Auto or Multi calibrate procedures, the register remembers the
number of counts during flow (meter turning). Once the
Non-Temperature Compensated volume, Gross Volume, of the Prover
vessel is entered, the register calculates the Calibration factor.
The actual Proof of Gross and Compensated Volumes is NOT done under
the Meter Calibration. Once the meter is calibrated, close the
C&C switch, and return to Volume Mode where the Proof run is
made. Here the register applies the Density or Coefficients to
obtain the Compensated Volume. If the displayed volume is
Compensated, the thermometer icon to the right of the delivered
volume is displayed. The Gross volume is displayed by pushing an
arrow button. These Compensated and Gross Volumes are compared to
the Prover Volume and W&M tables to verify the meter
calibration.

AUTO CALIBRATE is the easiest option. If the system will
normally be run at only one flow rate, then Auto Calibrate at that
flow rate will be fine. Follow the procedure noted in the Auto
Calibrate section of the Setup and Operation Manual. IMPORTANT:
Once the GROSS prover volume is entered and the ENTER button is
pushed and the Register calculates the calibration factor (the
Descriptor Field changes and a new calibration factor shows),
RECORD THIS FACTOR for future reference. Then push ENTER UNTIL YOU
RETURN TO METER CALIBRATION. Returning to METER CALIBRATION saves
the Calibration Factor. MULTI CALIBRATE is used for systems that
will be run at more than one flow rate. For large meters that will
be run at low flow rates, more than one calibration in the low flow
rate range is recommended. It is not necessary to return to Meter
Calibration between rates, however once done, push ENTER to get
back to Meter Calibration. If an E65 CALIBRATION ERROR occurs more
points at closer flow rates will be needed. The error occurs
because one of the multipoint calibration values is different by
more that 0.25% of the previous value. This is built in the
software to satisfy a Canadian W&M requirement. For example if
calibration point 1 is 100.00 than calibration point 2 must be
between 99.75 and 100.25 counts. Push any key to clear the error
code. Push the NEXT key to begin calibrating a new flow rate point
using either Autocalibrate or Multicalibrate. It is also acceptable
to calculate the counts and enter them manually using the Manual
Calibrate Feature. If this occurs, Single point autocalibrate
points can be done and the curve entered manually. For example: at
a flow rate of 400 gpm: the calibration factor is 100.00. When the
flow rate was 200 the E65 Calibration error occurred. Either try to
throttle the valve to get between the 200 and 400 flow rates, and
re-do the second point, or record the flow rate and K-factor for
the 400. Stay at the 200 valve throttling and do a single point
AutoCalibrate. Record that K-factor and flow rate. Draw a
straight-line curve between the two flow rates, i.e. interpret
points to obtain a K-factor and flowrate that does not violate the
0.25% difference. MANUAL CALIBRATION is an option available as
outlined in the Manual. It is normally used for entering known
calibration values or normal values for specific meter if known. If
for some reason the display head is replaced, or Restart is
selected and the stored information in the display head is lost,
the Calibration Factor, if recorded, is entered under Manual
Calibration. Note: For Large Volume prover applications, a prover
vessel metal expansion factor may need to be applied per the local
Weights and Measures regulations. Recommend tenths resolution on
Calibration even if whole units on Register for Delivery To get the
best accuracy on the calibration, Both register resolution and
preset resolution (for k-factor) should be temporarily set to
Tenths. For calibration, the seal must be broken anyway, so the
resolution can be changed for the calibration and proof, then set
back to whole units if that is the delivered resolution. With
C&C switch open, go to DISPLAY SYNTAX. Go to PRESET RES, PRESET
VOLUME and move decimal using NEXT, the ENTER back to PRESET RES to
save. Do the same with REGISTER RES, REGISTER VOL. Remember To Go
Back To Whole Units When Complete With Calibration And Proofs.
MULTICALIBRATE AND METER CAPABILITY WITH THE EMR
-
27
Sometimes meters are run at 4 to 1 or greater turndowns or the
meter has some wear, making a single point calibration inadequate.
Multiple calibration points can be set up to compensate for many of
these situations. Technically the meter performance curve is not
linear, but a linear model is easier to use for setting up a
multi-calibrate table and minimizing the prover runs. The EMR can
accommodate 8 points of calibration (or 7 segments). The multipoint
calibration has a 0.25% difference between calibration points
limitation built into the software. The 0.25% difference is based
on a Measurement Canada requirement. There will however be
circumstances where the meter performance is beyond the multipoint
capability. The difference between the high/full flow and the low
flow requirements must be about 1.70% or less difference for the
multipoint calibration to work. You will need to make a calculation
to determine your situation. Examples: High flow K-factor: 94.100
Low Flow K-Factor: 92.475 Segments maximum of 7 Percent per
segment: (((High k-factor Low k-factor)/low k-factor)/7 *100) -
must be 0.25% or less (((94.100-92.475)/ 92.475)/7*100) = 0.251% NO
GO, greater than 0.25% High flow K-factor: 94.100 Low Flow
K-Factor: 93.399 Segments maximum of 7 Percent per segment: (((High
k-factor Low k-factor)/low k-factor)/7 *100) - must be 0.25% or
less (((94.100-93.399)/ 93.399)/7*100) = 0.107% - Good Might want
to try 4or 5 segments. At 5 segments ( 6 points) , 0.107% *7/5 =
0.150% (< 0.25%) Example Each segment (94.100-93.399)/5 =
0.140
K-factor Flow Rate 93.399 55 93.539 100 93.679 145 93.819 190
93.959 235 94.100 280
In the real world you get a close a practical in the segments
and flow rates. How To Determine The High And Low K-Factors In The
Field And Minimize Prover Runs
-
28
6. K-Factor at high flow rate
I suggest doing an AutoCalibrate at the high flow condition.
Then go to Volume Mode (standard delivery mode) and run a couple of
checks for consistency and verification of the k-factor. During the
prover filling, push the Mode button to rate, observe and record
the average flow rate. If the results of the register when compared
to the prover are consistent, but outside the accepted tolerance,
calculate a new K-factor manually, enter that k-factor using Manual
Calibrate, and verify with one or two prover runs.
7. K-Factor at Low flow rate
With the high flow rate K-factor, execute 2 or more runs at the
low flow rate condition. During the prover filling, push the Mode
button to Rate, observe and record the average flow rate. If the
results are within tolerance, great. If consistent, but not within
tolerance, calculate a new K-factor for the low flow condition.
8. Manually, enter that low flow k-factor using Manual
Calibrate, and verify with one or two prover runs. 9. Do the
High-Low acceptability check outlined on page 1. If not okay, then
the meter is incapable. If
Okay, calculate a K-factor/Flow Rate table. Use a number of
segments that makes the calculation easy. 10. Manually enter that
k-factor/Flow Rate table using Manual Calibrate, and verify with
one or two prover
runs. For How to make corrections in calibration without
re-calibrating see page above. Temperature Probe Calibration
14. Disconnect the Temperature probe from the back of the
display. 15. Unscrew the temperature probe from the
pipe/thermowell. 16. Reconnect the temperature probe to the back of
the display 17. Immerse the temperature probe in an ice-water bath
1quart for 5 minutes. 18. In C&C Mode, Arrow down to
Temperature 19. NEXT, Fahrenheit 20. NEXT, CALIBRATE 21. NEXT,
flashing cursor 22. Use the NEXT key to move cursor and the keypad
or arrow keys to set the temperature to 32F. 23. ENTER, ENTER,
ENTER back to Temperature. 24. Disconnect the Temperature probe
from the back of the display. 25. Screw the temperature probe into
the pipe/thermowell. 26. Reconnect the temperature probe to the
back of the display
DO NOT CHANGE THE REFERENCE TEMPERATURE THIS SHOULD BE 60F(OR
15C).
If you have a dual thermowell installation and a know
temperature probe beside the EMR Probe, you can calibrate the probe
to that temperature instead of removing and placing in ice
water.

Troubleshooting PC-Setup Program connection
1. English (US) is selected Control Panel, Regional Options.
Perhaps if the system was re-booted after selecting, it defaulted
back to what was there before, and not English (US)?
2. Both the PC setup program and the msxml.msi programs have
been loaded. 3. Computer Settings, Control Panel, System Hardware,
Com 1 port, defaults of 9600, n,8,1. Com 1 enabled. If Com
1 is used, the program may look for Com3. It will not go beyond
Com3 per my experience. If using USB to Serial, Com 1 may need to
be forced. See attached info on USB to Serial use.
4. If there is another Serial program running on the computer
such as a hot syncronize to a PDA or cell phone perhaps that is
running in the background, even though the device is not connected,
it will not allow the PC-Setup program to connect. Cntrl-ALT-DEL
and look at Task Manager. Close conflicting programs.
5. In the program, Proper head feature(s) (temp comp and or
currency if on the display), are checked under C&C basic setup.
If there is a conflict there should be an error message.
6. Communication under Basic setup is Head 1, IB 1, Port 2. You
must go here and check and click OKAY or the program will ask you
for where to communicate.
7. Connections in IB are correct for RX and TX: October 2005 the
locations of RX and TX changed. If the IB Board only has been
changed in an older IB box,
the wiring shield needs to be replace to show the latest
connections, or refer to the attached wiring locations. If the
wiring is correct, you might want to verify the RS-232 cable if all
this doesn't work. See attached for pin
locations and continuity expectation between the pins and leads.
8. Port 2 Assign in Register is OBC. 9. Port 1 assign is slip
printer or other than OBC. 10. Register has C&C switch open and
mode to Set-up and system is verified to be in C&C by pushing
the mode button
again and you cannot get out of Set-up. Connection can be made
in set-up mode also, but C&C parameters cannot be
downloaded.
11. Cycle power on the IB and try again. NOTE: When finished
using the PC Setup Program, the Port 2 Assignment should be
returned to OBC for communication with other Serial devices.
1. Push the Mode button so the small arrow is above Setup at the
bottom of the screen. The display should say DEFAULTS. 2. Arrow (+)
up to SYSTEM ADDRESS 3. NEXT , IB ADDRESS 1 4. Arrow down to PORT 2
ASSIGN, 5. NEXT, it will say PC SETUP 6. Arrow down to OBC 7. ENTER
8. ENTER back to SYSTEM ADDRESS

NO PRICE ENTRY While trying to START a delivery, in the Currency
Mode prior to selecting a price, the EMR will display this message.
Once the desired price is on the preset display, use the ENTER
button to select it.
SELECT PRODUCT
When more than one product is available, the user must choose
one product prior to each delivery. Press +/- button to display the
desired product then press ENTER to select it.
Delivery Error Codes
The current delivery will automatically FINISH when a delivery
error occurs. E04 - ENCODER PULSE ERROR
This error is an indication that an illegal quadrature state has
occurred. It is possible this error is caused by a random event and
another delivery may be started. Should this error repeat itself,
the source of the error must be fixed. Before replacing the encoder
check the IB input voltage for dropout or power surges. Some
solenoid valves do not have diode suppression and may cause the
supply voltage to drop out. Add diodes (Veeder-Root P/N 846000-022)
across the solenoid coils as noted in the installation manual. An
over speed condition (>1250 rpm) will also cause an E04
error.
E06 - TEMP PROBE TOO HOT
The measured temperature is greater than +160F (71.1C). This
error can also be caused by poor connections in a junction box when
wire is added to the original temperature probe and a poor
connection is made. Soldering is recommenced - not just wire
nuts.
E07 - TEMP PROBE TOO COLD
The measured temperature is less than -55F (-48.3C). When the
fluid temperature is outside of the EMR 's measurable range, a
delivery can not continue or start. Go into the C&C Menu, under
TEMPERATURE, check what the EMR reads for the fluid's temperature.
If the EMR temperature is wrong remove or replace the thermoprobe
and recalibrate.
E08 - TEMPERATURE PROBE FAILURE
The thermoprobe wires are either shorted together or are not
connected to the TP terminals on the Display Head. Check the
thermoprobe connections on the back of the Display Head. If the
thermoprobe wiring is corroded, remove both leads and trim them.
Cut back the cable insulation and strip each wire by 1/4 of an inch
(5 mm). Insert both wires into the terminal block and tighten. To
test a thermoprobe, connect each lead to an ohmmeter and measure
the resistance. At 77F (25C), the meter should read about 10 K
ohms. If not, replace the probe (Veeder-Root P/N 846000-002).
Startup Error Codes
The following messages apply to self-testing during the power up
sequence. Should any of these messages appear, try cycling the
power before replacing the Display Head Module.
E05 - NVRAM FAIL
Test of nonvolatile random access memory. The NVRAM is a piece
of semiconductor memory hardware used as a data storage device. To
either write or read data into NVRAM the CPU (central processing
unit) places address and data information on the bus lines and then
toggles the appropriate control signals. The EMR3 uses NVRAM to
store setup values, the current amount of product dispensed and
other historical data. Each value stored in NVRAM has a checksum
that validates the integrity for each piece of data. This error
occurs when data being read does not agree with its respective
checksum.
-
8
E15 - RAM FAIL Test of static random access memory. The RAM is a
piece of semiconductor memory hardware used as a temporary data
storage device. To either write or read data into RAM the CPU
(central processing unit) places address and data on the bus lines
and then toggles the appropriate control signals. The EMR3 uses RAM
to store general-purpose data that is erased once power is removed.
Every RAM location is tested by the CPU and the E15 error occurs
when data being read does not agree with the written
information.
E16 - FLASH FAIL
Test of program memory. The Flash is a piece of semiconductor
memory hardware used to store the firmware. Firmware is computer
software providing all of the instructions used by the CPU (central
processing unit) to operate the EMR3. This error occurs when the
checksum for the FLASH device does not agree with its stored
checksum.
E17 - ADDR FAIL
Can not access all devices connected to the CPU's address bus.
An address is a unique designation for the location of data or the
identity of other hardware devices. The CPU uses 20 address lines
to communicate with devices connected to the address bus. Any
device that fails to respond when properly addressed will cause
this error.
E18 - DATA FAIL
Can not send or receive data from all of the devices connected
to the CPU. In the EMR3, information is represented in binary
format so that it can be stored, manipulated and transmitted. Data
is communicated 16 bits at a time and each of the 16 CPU data lines
are tested for the proper response.
E19 - UART FAIL
The hardware used to perform serial communications has failed or
locked up. UART stands for universal asynchronous
receiver/transmitter and as many as 4 are integrated into the CPU.
In each EMR3 system the UARTs are used for serial communication
between the IB and Display Head as well as for external
communications. The configuration registers inside each UART are
written to and read from by the CPU. Any register values that do
not program correctly will result in this error. Any status
register conditions that result in a condition that can not be
corrected by the CPU will result in this error. If during start-up,
the Display Head stops in any self-check mode, cycle the power.
Should the situation persist, replace the Display Head.
System Error Codes E50 - IB COMM FAILURE
Serial communication from the IB Box is not working. Check the
wiring at both the Display Head and the IB, make sure A goes to A
and B goes to B. At the IB box check the tri-color LED, make sure
it is flashing. If the IB Comm Error continues, try swapping the
Display Head 1 wiring with the Display Head 2 wiring. If the
problem follows the Display Head, replace it, if not, test the IB
with a known good Display Head. A faulty IB circuit board can also
be the cause an E50 error. With two heads in operation, the IB COM
FAILURE will occur if both heads have the same HEAD ADDRESS. In
Setup Mode go to System Address and, following the instructions in
Figure 28 on page 26, check each Display Heads address number.
Cycle the power to clear the error once a change is made. Also in a
two-head system, if Display Head 1 has a problem, Display Head 2
may show an IB COM FAILURE. In some systems diode suppression on
solenoids will be required to avoid IB COM FAILURES. See
information under ENCODER PULSE ERROR and reference the
Installation Manual (577013-758).

IB INDICATOR LIGHTS AND IB SELF CHECKS The tri-color LED,
located inside the Interconnection Box, is capable of indicating 4
different states: Green, Red, Yellow and Off. At start up, the LED
flashes the initialization sequence of Off-Green-Red-Yellow-Off
indicating that the IB self-test passed with no errors to display.
If one or more Display Heads are communicating with the IB the LED
will flash an Off-Green-Off pattern repeatedly. If one or more IB
Relay is active, or a delivery is in process, the LED will flash an
Off-Yellow-Off sequence until all the relays are inactive. If a
communication error occurs, the LED will flash Off-Red-Off
indicating a problem. Try swapping the Display Heads as described
above in order to locate the problem. The LED will not indicate a
non-functional Display Head. If a self-test error occurs, the LED
will flash an Off-Red-Off-Red-Off sequence indicating a problem.
Try swapping the IB with another IB in order to locate the problem.
If the LED is stuck in one of the 4 states, remove input power from
the input terminals for a few seconds. Restore power and check the
LED for the Off-Green-Red-Yellow-Off sequence. If the LED fails to
flash in the proper sequence, replace the IB Circuit Board.
E66 - PRINTER BUSY
The E66 Printer Busy error means that the printer still has
information to print from the previous transaction. If a
transaction is complete, but no ticket was put in the printer, the
display can be reset to zero by pushing the FINISH button. When the
START button is pushed, the Printer Busy Error comes up. The
printer icon should be flashing to indicate there is information to
be printed. The ability to reset the register is based on a ticket
sensing switch inside the printer that clears once a ticket has
been removed. The data that needs to be printed is still however,
in the printers buffer memory as indicated by the flashing icon.
Another possibility is that the previous transaction printed some
or most of the information on the ticket, but the ticket was not
long enough to print all the information (the printer icon should
be flashing). Install a blank ticket into the printer and the
remaining information will finish printing. Keep in mind that if
the operator thinks all of the lines printed, there may still be
blank lines in the format that have to print to complete the
ticket. Cycling the printer power will clear the printer memory and
the Printer Busy Error. However, the transaction record is in the
EMR3 system memory and can be recalled using view records or
printing records.
Hardware and Printer Busy
If one of the communications wires between the printer and the
IB is not connected, the printer will not print, but the printer
icon will flash after a transaction. When the ticket is removed,
the register can be reset by pushing FINISH, but again, when the
START button is pushed, the Printer Busy Error will show because
there is still information from the previous transaction to print.
Cycling the power will clear the error as described above, allowing
the next transaction to start.
EXC ERROR ####
These are 4-digit coded exception processing errors associated
with booting up the EMR system. Try cycling power Off and On before
replacing the Display Head.
Relay Setup Error Codes
Relay setup errors occur while entering relay or preset
information in Setup Mode. When using 2-stage valves, relay 1 is
used to control the fast-flow solenoid and relay 2 is used to
control the single flow solenoid. Under the RELAY CONTROL settings,
two values are used to knockoff each solenoid prior to the end of a
preset delivery: SET SLOW FLOW (relay 1) and SET ADVANCE STOP
(relay 2).
E60 - STOP ADVANCE ERROR
The volume for flow control relay 2 is set to a volume greater
than the volume entered for flow control relay 1. Fix this
condition by setting the volume for SET ADVANCE STOP to a number of
units smaller than the volume for SET SLOW FLOW.

Calibration Error Codes Calibration errors occur during meter
calibration and must be corrected in order to continue with this
process.
E64 - FUEL TYPE UNDEFINED
A meter calibration must be performed for this product. E65 -
CALIBRATION ERROR
One of the multipoint calibration values is different by more
that 0.25% of the previous value. For example if calibration point
1 is 100.00 than calibration point 2 must be between 99.75 and
100.25 counts. Push any button to clear the error code. Push the
NEXT button to begin calibrating a new flow rate point using either
Auto Calibrate or Multicalibrate. It is also acceptable to
calculate the counts and enter them manually using the manual
calibrate feature.
Other Problems SYSTEM BOOTS UP OKAY, BUT DISPLAY KEYS DONT
RESPOND
Electrical interference or noise could cause this problem. Make
sure the IB and the Display Head each have a good Earth Ground and
the ground/shield between the IB and Display Head is connected. Try
to find the source by turning on and off motors/pumps and other
equipment in the area. Make sure this equipment is well
grounded.

THAN ONE PRODUCT PRODUCT ADDED AFTER INITIAL CALIBRATION If all the
products were set up and assigned Cal 1 before the calibration was
done, they would all get that calibration properly assigned to that
product. If a new product is added after the calibration of that
Cal 1, say 25, the new product unfortunately is not automatically
given the 25, but gets the 96 factory default in the background.
Going to Manual calibrate and getting to Encoder counts, NEXT, then
ENTER to "recalculate" gets the CAL 1 of 25 assigned to the new
product.

How to make corrections in calibration without re-calibrating
Example: Calibration Factor: 95.966 pulses per Gallon Register vol:
100.4 Prover volume: 100.0 (Prover-reg)/prover =
(100.0-100.4)/100.0 = - .004 New factor= old factor /(1+diff) note
sign is important New factor = 95.966/(1-.004) = 95.966/0.996 =
96.351 If register more than prover, factor up. (less
Gallons/pulse) (greater Pulses/gallon) If register less than
prover, factor down (more Gallons/pulse) (less pulses/gallon) The
adjustment is made in Manual Calibration with the C&C switch

METER CALIBRATION INFORMATION There are now 4 Calibrations
Available. For multiple products, If using Temperature
Compensation, calibrate the Temperature Probe first as noted
previously. The system calibration is running a known
Non-Compensated volume through the meter and having the register
electronics calculate the Calibration Factor. The calibration
factor is Encoder Counts per Unit Volume. During the Auto or Multi
calibrate procedures, the register remembers the number of counts
during flow (meter turning). Once the Non-Temperature Compensated
volume, Gross Volume, of the Prover vessel is entered, the register
calculates the Calibration factor. The actual Proof of Gross and
Compensated Volumes is NOT done under the Meter Calibration. Once
the meter is calibrated, close the C&C switch, and return to
Volume Mode where the Proof run is made. Here the register applies
the Density or Coefficients to obtain the Compensated Volume. If
the displayed volume is Compensated, the thermometer icon to the
right of the delivered volume is displayed. The Gross volume is
displayed by pushing an arrow button. These Compensated and Gross
Volumes are compared to the Prover Volume and W&M tables to
verify the meter calibration. AUTO CALIBRATE is the easiest option.
If the system will normally be run at only one flow rate, then Auto
Calibrate at that flow rate will be fine. Follow the procedure
noted in the Auto Calibrate section of the Setup and Operation
Manual. IMPORTANT: Once the GROSS prover volume is entered and the
ENTER button is pushed and the Register calculates the calibration
factor (the Descriptor Field changes and a new calibration factor
shows), RECORD THIS FACTOR for future reference. Then push ENTER
UNTIL YOU RETURN TO METER CALIBRATION. Returning to METER
CALIBRATION saves the Calibration Factor. MANUAL CALIBRATION is an
option available as outlined in the Manual. It is normally used for
entering known calibration values or normal values for specific
meter if known.

If for some reason the display head is replaced, or Restart is
selected and the stored information in the display head is lost,
the Calibration Factor, if recorded, is entered under Manual
Calibration. Note: For Large Volume prover applications, a prover
vessel metal expansion factor may need to be applied per the local
Weights and Measures regulations. Recommend tenths resolution on
Calibration even if whole units on Register for Delivery To get the
best accuracy on the calibration, Both register resolution and
preset resolution (for k-factor) should be temporarily set to
Tenths. For calibration, the seal must be broken anyway, so the
resolution can be changed for the calibration and proof, then set
back to whole units if that is the delivered resolution. With
C&C switch open, go to DISPLAY SYNTAX. Go to PRESET RES, PRESET
VOLUME and move decimal using NEXT, the ENTER back to PRESET RES to
save. Do the same with REGISTER RES, REGISTER VOL. Remember To Go
Back To Whole Units When Complete With Calibration And Proofs.
MULTICALIBRATE AND METER CAPABILITY WITH THE EMR Sometimes meters
are run at 4 to 1 or greater turndowns or the meter has some wear,
making a single point calibration inadequate. Multiple calibration
points can be set up to compensate for many of these situations.
Technically the meter performance curve is not linear, but a linear
model is easier to use for setting up a multi-calibrate table and
minimizing the prover runs. The EMR can accommodate 8 points of
calibration (or 7 segments). The multipoint calibration has a 0.25%
difference between calibration points limitation built into the
software. The 0.25% difference is based on a Measurement Canada
requirement. There will however be circumstances where the meter
performance is beyond the multipoint capability. The difference
between the high/full flow and the low flow requirements must be
about 1.70% or less difference for the multipoint calibration to
work. You will need to make a calculation to determine your
situation. Examples: High flow K-factor: 94.100 Low Flow K-Factor:
92.475 Segments maximum of 7 Percent per segment: (((High k-factor
Low k-factor)/low k-factor)/7 *100) - must be 0.25% or less
(((94.100-92.475)/ 92.475)/7*100) = 0.251% NO GO, greater than
0.25% High flow K-factor: 94.100 Low Flow K-Factor: 93.399 Segments
maximum of 7 Percent per segment:
-
D. Rajala Veeder-Root 4-2007 5
(((High k-factor Low k-factor)/low k-factor)/7 *100) - must be
0.25% or less (((94.100-93.399)/ 93.399)/7*100) = 0.107% - Good
Might want to try 4or 5 segments. At 5 segments ( 6 points) ,
0.107% *7/5 = 0.150% (< 0.25%) Example Each segment
(94.100-93.399)/5 = 0.140
K-factor Flow Rate 93.399 55 93.539 100 93.679 145 93.819 190
93.959 235 94.100 280
In the real world you get a close a practical in the segments
and flow rates. How To Determine The High And Low K-Factors In The
Field And Minimize Prover Runs 1. K-Factor at high flow rate
I suggest doing an AutoCalibrate at the high flow condition.
Then go to Volume Mode (standard delivery mode) and run a couple of
checks for consistency and verification of the k-factor. During the
prover filling, push the Mode button to rate, observe and record
the average flow rate. If the results of the register when compared
to the prover are consistent, but outside the accepted tolerance,
calculate a new K-factor manually, enter that k-factor using Manual
Calibrate, and verify with one or two prover runs.
2. K-Factor at Low flow rate
With the high flow rate K-factor, execute 2 or more runs at the
low flow rate condition. During the prover filling, push the Mode
button to Rate, observe and record the average flow rate. If the
results are within tolerance, great. If consistent, but not within
tolerance, calculate a new K-factor for the low flow condition.
3. Manually, enter that low flow k-factor using Manual
Calibrate, and verify with one or two prover runs. 4. Do the
High-Low acceptability check outlined on page 1. If not okay, then
the meter is incapable.
If Okay, calculate a K-factor/Flow Rate table. Use a number of
segments that makes the calculation easy.
5. Manually enter that k-factor/Flow Rate table using Manual
Calibrate, and verify with one or two
prover runs.
For How to make corrections in calibration without
re-calibrating see page 2 above.

SECTION 1 Introduction Veeder Root (Subsidiary of the Danaher
Corporation): Veeder-Root innovations have met the petroleum
industry's growing needs for nearly a century. Veeder-Root's
beginnings can be traced to 1866, when the Root Company, a hinge
manufacturer, was founded in Bristol, CT. The following year, the
company expanded to manufacture counting and measuring devices for
production, textile equipment and census taking. Almost 30 years
later in 1895, Curtis Veeder, the founder of Veeder Manufacturing
Company, invented a Cyclometer to record the miles traveled on a
bicycle. He promoted the Cyclometer with the slogan; its Nice to
Know How Far You Go. The Cyclometer's success led to a full line of
Veeder counting devices. In 1928, the Root and the Veeder Companies
merged to form Veeder-Root, Incorporated of Hartford, Connecticut,
the largest manufacturer of counting and computing devices in the
world. While the majority of Veeder-Root's customers used the
counters to control manufacturing processes, in the early 1930s,
one customer had the foresight to incorporate a Veeder-Root counter
into his gasoline pump. This innovation introduced Veeder-Root to
the petroleum industry and marked its beginning as a petroleum
technology leader. These new mechanical computers allowed gas
station attendants to "filler up" without having to calculate cash
sales as they pumped gas. Through the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s,
Veeder-Root counters went through many changes because of wartime
material shortages, growing competition and the addition of tenths
of cents to the counters. Through these decades of change,
Veeder-Root mechanical computers could be found on more than 90
percent of U.S. and Canadian gasoline pumps. Around the same time,
Veeder-Root engineers were developing an accurate meter register
and ticket system for gasoline delivery tracking. Their experiments
with inventory control devices sparked ideas that later surfaced in
Veeder-Root's Tank Level Sensing (TLS) product line during the late
1970s. With the late 1970's gas crisis, gas station owners needed
accurate inventory control and the ability to detect product loss.
During this time, Veeder-Root pioneered the automatic tank gauge
and released the first generation of TLS monitoring products, the
TLS-100, in 1979. Veeder-Root purchased Red Jacket Pumps in 2001
and moved the Manufacturing to Altoona. Gilbarco/Veeder-Root In
2002, Danaher (Veeder-Root Parent) purchased Gilbarco. Veeder Root
and Gilbarco are aligned under the same Senior management.
Veeder-Root including Veeder-Root and Red Jacket are a Profit
Center. Gasboy was purchased by Gilbarco/Veeder Root in 2003 and is
incorporated under the umbrella.

Danaher Corporation: Danaher is a leading U.S.-based
manufacturer with a worldwide workforce of approximately 45,000.
The company generated revenues totaling 9.5 billion (US) in the
2006 fiscal year, almost half of which was generated outside the
U.S.A. With leading businesses in Professional Instrumentation,
Industrial Technologies, and Tools & Components, Danaher makes
long-term investments in established and internationally active
industrial enterprises. The origin of "Danaher" goes back to the
root "Dana," a Celtic word dating from before 700 BC and meaning
"swift flowing". In the early 1980's, the vision of a manufacturing
company, dedicated to continuous improvement and customer
satisfaction, was conceived during a fishing trip on the Danaher, a
tributary to the south fork of the Flat Head River in western
Montana. The founders of the company adopted the name for their new
organization. As Danaher has evolved, the elements of a swift
flowing river have been retained. The company has never strayed
from the clarity of its initial vision. The flow of the business is
ever changing but the guiding principles--continuous improvement
and customer satisfaction--remain constant. Over time, the company
has grown rapidly in size and success, achieving record levels
again in 2004. Danaher products help to make life healthier, safer
and more enjoyable for people around the world. Some of the
products carry high-profile brand names, while others are hidden
inside complex systems. Danaher capitalized on favorable market
conditions, achieving strong organic growth, record sales,
earnings, and cash flow in 2007.
Danaher has a proven system for achieving performance: the
Danaher Business System (DBS). It drives every aspect of the groups
culture and performance. DBS is system of continuous improvement
and used to guide and measure everyday activities.
The Danaher Business segments include Professional
Instrumentation, Industrial Technologies and Tools &
Components. The Professional Instrumentation segment encompasses
three strategic platforms: Electronic Test, Environmental, and
Medical Technologies. The Industrial Technologies segment
encompasses two strategic platforms: Motion and Product

SECTION 2 Overview of Safety Standards and Practices The EMR
Electronic Meter Register System is independently approved by the
UL and ATEX organizations. These approvals apply to the EMR System
when installed per the specifications provided by Veeder-Root (See
the Installation Manual for additional information). Systems not
installed per the Veeder-Root specifications may result in a
violation of the safety approvals and or a violation of the
warranty for the EMR System (See page 4 of the Installation Manual
for Safety Warning). Organizations or individuals associated with
the installation of individual components of the EMR System, such
as but not limited to the 3-Way Differential Lockout Valve or the
2-Stage Petroleum Preset Valve, must adhere to the practices
applicable by law and by industry standard. For example, if a
flange needs to welded onto the piping for installation of the
2-Stage Petroleum Preset Valve, this procedure should be conducted
by an ASME (or equivalent) certified welder who is qualified in
such procedures and who is cognizant of the procedures for safe
welding on the vessel to which the valve will be installed. The
following organizations are internationally recognized agencies
whose published practices should be familiar to the organizations
or individuals associated with EMR installations. This list does
not constitute the only organizations recognized globally. For each
EMR installation, the installer should insure compliance with all
relevant codes and practices from all associated agencies whose
practices are applicable at the local level. NEC SAE NFPA API NPGA

SECTION 3 Overview of Meter Technology There are several types
of meters in use worldwide today. The predominate meter types that
are used with the EMR are Positive Displacement (PD), Turbine and
Mass Flow (Coriolis) since these are the predominate meter types
used on trucks, at loading facilities and terminals. Of these
three, the Positive Displacement meters are the most common types
of meters to which a Veeder Root register electronic or mechanical
would mount to. Positive Displacement: Positive Displacement
meters, as stated by E.L. Upp work on the bucket principle of a
bucket alternatively filled and emptied. To keep operation from
being a strictly batch operation, most PD meters have multiple
buckets that are geared and valved together so that while some
buckets are filling, others are emptying. With proper timing and
valving, there is an uninterrupted flow through the meter. The
driving force for this action comes from the flowing stream as a
pressure drop. PD meters are designed to measure liquids. Major
types of meters by technology include; Positioned-Vane Rotary,
BiRotor, Sliding Vane, Oval Gear, Rotating Cresent, Oscillating
Piston and Rotating Paddle. Turbine: Turbine Meters are velocity
measuring devices. Flow passes through a free turning rotor mounted
coaxially on the meter body centerline and exits the body. Fluid
(or gas) imparts an angular velocity to the angled rotor so that
the rotation is proportional to the flow rate. With accurate
measurement of rotor speed from mechanical gearing or magnetic
pickup and by knowing the hydraulic area that the flow is passing
through, volume at line conditions can be determined. Coriolis
(a.k.a. Mass Flow): Coriolis meters can be used to measure liquids
and some gases. They directly measure the weight of the product. If
the desired measure is volume, then some correction for density at
fluid base conditions must be made. Since these meters react to
mass they can be used (with limits) for mixtures of liquids and
gas. The principle of operation for a coriolis meter requires a
resonant frequency introduced to the measuring element (usually
tubular). As product flows through the measuring element, changes
in the frequency detected by transducers are recorded and the
values become an integral part of the algorithm used to determine
the measurement.
-

Readout Devices: Secondary systems are a part of any measurement
installation for reading primary element signals and the variables
necessary to correct flow from flowing to base conditions. These
elements fall into three main categories: mechanical, pneumatic and
electronic. All have applications in flow measurement. Veeder-Root
Mechanical Meter Registers qualify as mechanical readout devices
and Veeder-Root Electronic Meter Registers (EMR) qualify as
electronic readout devices. Mechanical Register: The Meter Register
is the outstanding choice for recording and displaying delivery
data in a wide variety of industries. In the petroleum refining and
distribution field, it is used from the well to pipelines and
storage centers, then to gasoline and fuel oil delivery trucks. In
the chemical processing field, it can be used for displaying totals
during mixing and batching operations. The Meter Register totalizes
and displays high speed deliveries and transactions in large
easy-to-read figures. Ideal for increased efficiency in all kinds
of liquid inventory and delivery operations. Utilizing a geared
drive available in a wide selection of ratios, the Meter Register
records in practically any unit of liquid measure - gallons,
liters, barrels, etc. - as well as non-liquid units. Special
optional adaptors are available to mate the Meter Register with all
standard meters and pumps. It also easily combines with Veeder-Root
Meter Preset and Printer to form a complete count, control and
print system. Finished in corrosion resistant epoxy, the sturdy
housing protects the Meter Register in demanding environments and
extremes in weather. Electronic Meter Register (EMR): The New
Electronic Meter Register System from Veeder-Root is an alterative
to the Mechanical Register that has set the worldwide standard for
quality, performance and value over the past four decades. As the
leader in Meter Registers, Veeder-Root has incorporated in the
design of the EMR, the most important features to meet the new
demands of the market. The Register Head (display) and the
Interconnect Box (I.B.) are the building blocks of the system.
These along with a series of accessories allow the owner to
configure a system that meets their needs on the vehicle or in the
terminal. Two Registers may be connected to a single I.B. and up to
16 Interconnect Boxes can be networked together with I.B. NET.
Note: The performance, range, repeatability and tolerances of
each
type of flowmeter is established by the meter manufacturer.

Glossary: The following glossary provides information on
metering terms that may be helpful to an installer of the EMR. EMR
installers should possess the appropriate manuals for the flowmeter
to which the EMR will be mounted. Acceptance Test- A test of the
measuring device, under carefully controlled conditions with expert
operators and a certified inspector, to determine that the device
will comply with the requirements for approval, for sale in a state
requiring such approval. Typically these are the requirements found
in NIST Handbook 44. In many (not all) situations, a national
approval will result in automatic acceptance at the state level.
Accumulative- A term applied to indicating elements or recording
elements to describe the fact that they are not resettable to a
zero indication in normal use. Accuracy- Freedom from error,
usually expressed in percentage. Accuracy Curve- A graph or plotted
curve showing the performance characteristics of a measuring
device. The information plotted is the amount of error at the rates
of flow between the minimum and maximum rated capacity of the
device. Adjuster- A ratio changing device which is used to obtain
agreement between the indicated and/or recorded volume and the
actual volume measured. The ratio may be either continuously
variable or variable in increments. Typical with LC, Smith, Brooks
and other PD meters. Air Eliminator (see also Vapor Eliminator)- A
device installed upstream of the measuring device to avoid
measuring air or vapor. Air or vapor measured with liquid will
result in registering a volume larger than the liquid volume. Air
Separator- A device of the air eliminator type designed to include
the capacity of separating air vapor intimately mixed with the
liquid. It may include one or more air eliminator mechanisms. Air
(Vapor) Control System- An arrangement of various elements intended
to assist the air eliminator - or air separator - by stopping or
reducing flow of liquid when air or vapor is detected. Ambient
Temperature- Literally, this is the temperature of the
surroundings. It is usually used to denote the temperature of the
atmosphere in a given location at a specific time. Back Pressure
Valve- A device intended to maintain a desired minimum upstream
pressure. Bubble Point- The conditions of temperature and pressure
under which a liquid will begin to form vapor. Calibration- The
process or procedure of setting or bringing a meter or a prover
into agreement with an established standard. C&C Calibration
and Configuration - EMR mode that is Weights and Measured sealed
where key system set up is done including product and
calibration.

Change Gears- A gear system located between the meter and the
indicating and recording elements usually used to provide
registration by the counter in the desired units of measurement.
Also used to bring the registration closer to true value. These
gears may be located in the meter or be part of a subassembly
between the meter and the indicating elements. Typical with Neptune
meters and registers. Check Valve- A device designed to prevent a
reversal of liquid flow. Clingage- The liquid film that adheres to
the inside surface of a container after it has been emptied.
Coefficient of Expansion- A number usually expressed as a decimal
that indicates the change of volume per unit of volume per degree
of temperature change. Counter (Register)- A device which indicates
a quantity related to the volume measured by the meter. Can be
mechanical or electronic. Delivery, Over - Delivery, Under- The
terms, over-delivery and under-delivery, are commonly used to
indicate the kind of measuring error that is experienced.
Over-delivery indicates that the counter is registering a greater
volume than is delivered by the meter, and under-delivery indicates
that the meter is delivering less than is being registered on the
counter. Density, Relative (Specific Gravity)- The relative density
t1/t2 of a solid or liquid substance is defined as the ratio of the
mass of a given volume of the substance at a temperature (t1) to
the mass of an equal volume of pure water at a temperature (t2) -
(this term replaces the normal term specific gravity). Differential
Pressure Valve- A device designed to maintain the total pressure on
a system. In this system, the desired pressure must be higher than
the vapor pressure of the liquid when being metered. Drainage Time-
The drainage time for test measures and provers shall be 10 seconds
for a capacity of 10 gallons or less, and 30 seconds for capacities
exceeding 10 gallons. Necessary to achieve uniform clingage film.
Error- The difference between the indicated value and the true
value. Flow Limiting Device (Flow Control)- A device installed in
the system to prevent the rate of flow through the meter from
exceeding the desired maximum flow rate. Flow Meter- Commonly used
to describe a liquid measuring device. Flow Range- The minimum and
maximum flow rates established by the manufacturer to provide the
maximum meter performance and accuracy with long life. If exceeded,
accuracy or meter life may be adversely affected.
-
5
Flow Rate- The rate of flow of liquid expressed in volume or
mass units per unit of time. Gravity, API- A measure of the
specific gravity of a liquid hydrocarbon as indicated by a
hydrometer having a scale graduated in degrees API. Laminar Flow-
Liquid flow in which the liquid elements travel along relatively
straight parallel paths. Low Vapor Pressure Liquid- A liquid which
at atmospheric pressure and temperature can be maintained in an
open system without boiling. Master Meter- A meter used as a
reference for testing other working meters. Meniscus- A curved
liquid surface at the end of a liquid column. Positive Displacement
Meter- A meter in which the primary sensing element separates the
liquid into measured segments of known volume providing a shaft
motion or other signal that can be used for indicating the volume
delivered. Preset Device- An indicating device that can be preset
for a desired quantity which will stop the flow automatically, or
provide a signal when the preselected quantity of liquid has been
metered or delivered. Pressure Loss (Pressure Drop) (Loss of Head)
(Differential Pressure) - The difference in pressure between the
inlet and outlet of a device while operating. Prover (Proving Tank)
- Volumetric Type- A closed or open vessel designed especially for
accurate determination of the volume of a liquid delivered into or
out of it during a meter run. The volume of liquid is either
observed from the liquid level in a gauge proving glass or is known
from previous calibration of a fixed-volume vessel. Recording
Element- A device designed to register and print the volume metered
on a ticket, slip tape, or card. Reference Standard- A volumetric
measure that has been verified to contain or to deliver a known
volume, which is used for establishing the volume of field and
working standards. Register- A device which indicates the quantity
measured by the meter. Registration, Over - Registration, Under-
The terms, over-registration, are commonly used to indicate the
kind of measuring error that is experienced. Over-registration
indicates the counter is registering a greater volume than is
delivered by the meter, and under-registration indicates that the
meter is delivering more than is registered in the counter.
Repeatability- A measure of the deviation of a series of test
results from their mean value, all determinations being carried out
under identical conditions. Reynolds Number- A number
characteristic of the flow of fluid in a pipe or past an
obstruction.

Slit Compartment Test- A test applied to a truck mounted
metering system which simulates the conditions encountered in
actual operation when one truck compartment is emptied during a
delivery. Strainer (Filter)- A device equipped with a porous medium
or wire mesh element to prevent particles of foreign material from
passing through a meter. Swirl Plate- A plate or baffle installed
in or near the outlet connection of a storage container to reduce
or prevent formation of a vortex. Tolerance- The amount of error
that will be allowed. It is a plus or minus value. Torque Load- The
power required of the meter for driving accessory equipment such as
counters, printers, etc. Turbulent Flow- Flow in a pipeline is
turbulent when the liquid elements no longer travel along straight
parallel paths. This usually occurs when the Reynolds Number is
well above 2,000. Vapor Eliminator- A device installed upstream of
the measuring device to avoid measuring air and/or vapor. Vortex-
The swirling motion of liquid often encountered as it enters the
outlet opening of a container. The tendency of a vortex to form
depends upon many details of the container construction. Since the
swirling liquid can form around a central column of air or vapor,
the flow area is reduced. This restricts the rate of flow and often
results in carrying considerable quantities of air or vapor with
the liquid.

2. Getting Started (Note: Students may need a foundation of
truck/metered systems knowledge in order to keep pace with the
instructor.) Connections:
A good Ground to the Truck chassis or Earth ground to the
Interconnect Box is important. On many newer vehicles, the V- of
the battery may not be common with the chassis ground or the
defined ground in the vehicle electrical distribution box. The
Input Power Ground at the top of the EMR Interconnect Box terminal
strip should come from the V- terminal of the battery or the
location where the V- battery terminal is directly connect to the
vehicle chassis. If another ground point is used, there may be
insufficient power for the display to operate properly.
Pay close attention to the connections on the terminal strip on
the back of the display head.
Always Connect the ground between units. Shielded Cable and
Petroleum Products impervious. Fuse from accessory panel at 5
amps.

Caution: Do not power up the system until all connections have
been verified. The IB is protected by a fuse for incorrect power
into the box, however the Intrinsically Safe side of the IB that
powers and communicates with the head does not have this type of
replaceable protection due to Agency Approval constraints. Wire
Ties and Cord Grips are important, use them.
Solenoid-operated Valve wiring:
Diode Suppression required for 2-stage valve. 2 kits per valve.
If purchasing valve from Veeder-Root, diode suppression comes with
the valve.
2-stage solenoid valve kit has cable, but no electrical junction
boxes LPG valve does not require diode suppression, kit has cable,
but no hoses and fittings
Maximum Distances between Components:
1000 feet between IB and Display Head (including Remote Display)
30 feet between Printer and IB 25 feet fro Remote Pulser and Remote
Display
Temperature probe cable length: Additional length can be added
to the temperature probe cable. The cable splice must be protected
and the additional cable should be protected from physical and
liquid damage. Calibration of the temperature probe as outline in
the set-up manual will account for the extra cable.
Minimum external Power Supply amperage: 5 AMPS. Digikey.com has
6.5 amp unit for demo, and or one system with 2 heads and printer.
Digikey Part Number: 62-1041-ND NEVER CONNECT ELECTRICTY LIVE!!!!!
CAUTION ON INSTALLATIONS WITH HIGH AMPERAGE USE ELECTRICAL
DEVICES.
Highly recommend that the EMR be on a separate battery and that
a battery isolator be used to prevent voltage spikes to the EMR
Interconnect Box when the high amperage devices are
de-energized.

RS-232 CONFLICTS AND USE RELAY MAY BE REQUIRED Two serial
devices cannot talk to the RS-232 port at the same time. Expected
conflicts include the TaraSystems Large Display and the RS-232
serial cable that connects to a PC for using the PC Setup tool, or
an on-board computer, or the DataLink Serial Modem. For temporary
use of the PC Setup Program: For temporary use of the PC Setup
Program for setting up the EMR, the RS-232 cable that comes with
the IB can be connected and the TaraSystems Display disconnected.
Or, if a DataLink modem is being used, the RS-232 Cable for the PC
can be left connected in the IB, and the Serial Plug at the
DataLink modem temporarily disconnected when the PC Cable is used.
UPON COMPLETION OF USE OF THE PC SETUP PROGRAM: MUST RETURN PORT 2
ASSIGN TO OBC THROUGH THE DISPLAY SETUP SYSTEM ADDRESS IF USING THE
SYSTEM WITH AN AUXILLARY COMPUTER OR OTHER SERIAL INTERFACE DEVICE.
For use of the DataLink Serial Modem and the TaraSystems Large
serial display Two serial communication devices cannot be connected
to the same source at the same time. The Large LED Serial Display
used with the EMR System and the DataLInk Wireless Modem, both need
to use the RS-232 interface in the EMR Interconnect Box. A relay is
needed to switch the RX and TX serial signals between the Wireless
Modem and the Large LED Serial display. The serial signal is
switched to the Wireless Modem when the system is not doing a
delivery or transaction so that data can be available for the
office modem. When the START button on the Register is Pushed, the
Relay switches the RX and TX signals to the Large LED Display for
displaying the Delivered Volume. When the FINISH button is pushed,
the signal returns to the Wireless Modem, and the large Display
indicates zero, showing the system is idle. The relay works with
one or two head systems. A 12VDC DPDT Relay is needed. 2-pole is
all that is required. Diode Suppression is recommended. Tara
Systems recommends an IN4004 Rectifier Diode. An IN4005 will also
work. In this example:
TX IB to 9, RX IB to 12, Idle state is 1 and 4 to DataLink modem
cable: 1 to TX of Black wire of Serial cable to
DataLink Modem. 4 to RX or Green wire of Serial Cable to
DataLink modem., Energized is 5 and 8 to Large Display, 5 to TX and
8 to RX V+ vehicle power to 13, 14 to Common of Relay 2s in IB,
switching to Ground.

VALVE OPERATION WITH THE EMR FULL FLOW: The valve is Normally
Closed. When The START button is pushed on the EMR Display, Both
Relays for that Head are energized, opening the solenoid-operated
valves. The FAST FLOW solenoid valve allows the main valve
diaphragm to open via the pump pressure pushing on the diaphragm.
Full Flow is obtained. The SLOW FLOW solenoid valve allows flow
around the main diaphragm valve. When the FINISH Button is pushed
on the EMR Display, both relays are de-energized, the solenoid
valves close and the valve closes stopping flow. PRESET: The valve
is Normally Closed. When The START button is pushed on the EMR
Display, Both Relays for that Head are energized, opening the
solenoid-operated valves and fast/full flow is obtained. FIRST
STAGE KNOCKOFF
When the First Stage/Slow Flow point is reached( 1st Stage
Knockoff ), the Fast Flow/Relay 1 de-energizes, and the spring
assisted main diaphragm of the valve closes as the pressure
equalizes. The Single Flow/Relay 2/Bypass remains open for slow
flow.
SECOND STAGE KNOCKOFF When the ADVANCE STOP (2nd Stage Knockoff)
point is reached, the Single Flow/Relay 2/Bypass de-energizes and
the Single Flow/Bypass valve closes and flow stops.
KNOCKOFF CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS The volume to go adjustments are
made under RELAY CONTROL in SET UP MODE. The 1st Stage defaults to
5, the 2nd stage defaults to 0.1. Adjustments to these knockoff
points, particularly the 2nd Stage/Stop point may be required to
accommodate the specific system dynamics.
